Faith to Stand Firmly Planted
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” I Corinthians 2:9 Your faith in God is the foundation that you stand on when times are hard. The man that built his house upon the sand was swept away when the violent store came. But, the man’s house that was built upon the rock stood strong. You will be able to stand strong as you keep your faith in God and His promises. In every situation look to the Word of God, declare […]
Discouraged? Perhaps Look at Your Expectations
“I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.” Psalm 27:13 When we delight in the Lord and set our hearts on the goodness of the Lord we can carry His goodness and His loving presence into every situation. David knew he could not look at the circumstances. He had to keep his eyes on the goodness of the Lord. He said, “I would have fainted if I had not expected to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” He set his […]
The Lord Will Raise You Up
“The Lord raises the poor out of the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap and the dung hill, that He may seat them with princes, even the princes of His people.” Psalm 113:7-8 The plan of our Heavenly Father is to raise His children up to sit in heavenly places. He wants to raise you up to a higher place than the place where you are sitting right now. If you are poor and needy He wants you to shake off the dust of doubt and worry and trust in Him for your provision. Even in the […]
The Lord Will Answer You
May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble! Psalm 21:1 May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high and defend you. Send you help from the sanctuary and support, refresh and strengthen you from Zion. Psalm 20:1-2 Amp There are times that we need supernatural support and strength to make it through the challenges of the day. When we call on the Lord He will dispatch help from His throne. Psalm 20:2 says, “He sends help from the sanctuary.” He will send help, sometimes even angelic assistance. Scripture tells us that the angels […]
God’s House Plans
Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it… Psalms 127:1 God is the Master Builder and in His kingdom He is building many houses. When He is building a house He draws up the plans, and then He shares the plans with you through a vision or dream. This is how His house plans are delivered to the earth. If you have a dream that is much larger than anything you could do alone, then there is a good chance that God has revealed one of His house plans to you. He showed Noah a […]
Drink From the Fountain That Will Never Run Dry
“Oh God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land….” Psalm 63:1 There is a deep well within us that must be filled up daily. When this well has not been filled, you will find yourself dry and thirsty. Jesus said, “If any man thirst let him come to me and drink.” (John 7:37) Jesus is the fountain where we go to drink; He is a fountain that will never run dry. When we spend time with Him praying and reading His Word, we are drinking from the […]
A Thankful Tribute
“Peace, Peace to him who is far off and to him who is near! Says the Lord; I create the fruit of his lips, and I will heal him [make his lips blossom anew with speech in thankful praise]” Isaiah 57:19 As I traveled up a winding road I have traveled many times before, I had one thing on my mind, the old apple tree at the top of the hill. When I arrived at the top, I was disappointed to find a barren and withered tree. Then I remembered that back in the spring, I had not seen the […]
Burdens Will Roll Away
“Commit your ways to the Lord (roll and repose each care of your load on Him); trust (lean on, rely on and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass.” Psalm 37:5 Amp. You have probably found, as I have, that every problem has a weight to it, and some are heavier than others. If you have committed your ways unto the Lord and are trusting in Him to work things out, then you must release the heavy weight and not take it back again. As you trust the Lord, you can have peace in knowing […]
Joy Comes in the Morning
“Weeping may last for the night, but joy comes in the morning.” Psalm 30:5 In Psalm 6:6-8 the psalmist says, “I am weary with my groaning.” Some people weep outwardly, but most weep silently, choosing to walk through dark valleys all alone. Silent weeping will cause a night of sorrow to turn into months or even years of sadness, like a dark, sleepless night that you think will never end. But just as the morning sun comes up to announce that the night is over, and a new day has begun. When the first feeling of joy returns to your […]
